The great dreams were not mere figures, they were more than just a dream. They were the goals of the character of the film, Kassem Istanbouli, the Lebanese artist who is a dreamer and goal-seeker. He is the creator of change and the creator of the culture of the city of Tyre, where he was born in Lebanon. He is dedicated to restoring life to forgotten cinemas and theater as well as changing the culture of the city that has been changed by civil wars.
The documentary film “The First Dream” is a true dream for Istanbouli, who is considered one of the most prominent cultural and artistic faces in his struggle with his teams for theater and cinema in Lebanon, which contributed to breaking the cultural center and the latest cultural and artistic change by opening closed cinemas and holding festivals with artists from all over the world as well as the launch of “Peace Art Bus” for mobile shows in different areas and street theater, carnivals and workshops, which contributed to the promotion of culture and the spread of joy and art in various regions of Lebanon.
